Let's say you're stranded on an island and you make take only 10 CDs to listen on a solar-powered stereo. Which 10? I have about 700 CDs so it is VERY hard to limit to 10, These remind me of different times in my life and this music always moves me.

Here's my list, in no particular order:

Perez Prado: Greatest Hits

Tom Ze: The Hips of Tradition

Ana Belen/Victor Manual: Mucho Mas Que Dos

Skeleton Crew/Fred Frith: Step Across the Border/The Country of Blinds

Tough call... these are the first 10 that come into mind... but I wouldn't want to live without Porcupine Tree, the other coldplay and AvA stuff, the other DT stuff, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Marillion, Keane and al the other great artists that I have albums of.

1. Live at Leeds- The Who
2. Abraxas- Santana
3. Abbey Road- The Beatles
4. In the Jungle Groove- James Brown
5. 102%- The New Mastersounds
6. Best of Aretha Franklin
7. Back in Black- AC/DC
8. The Last Concert- Modern Jazz Quartet
9. Twenty-Five- Yellowjackets
10. Cross-Country Tour 1958-1961- Ahmad Jamal Trio

Iron Maiden: Live After Death
Slayer: South of Heaven
Slayer: Seasons in the Abyss
Megadeth: Youthanasia
Metallica: Kill 'Em All
AC/DC: Powerage
Rush: Chronicles
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
Warrior Soul: Salutations from the Ghetto Nation
John Prine: Great Days

I think that's the best I can do for now... the problem with these is you ALWAYS forget certain records that really should be on the list so it's never perfect. I'd be pretty happy with this one though

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
David Torn/Tom Rainey/Craig Taborne/Tim Berne - Prezens
65daysofstatic - The Destruction Of Small Ideas
Less Than Jake - B Is For B-Sides (great album but I feel like it's so short that it would almost be a waste.... naw)
Thursday - War All The Time
Copeland - In Motion
Streetlight Manifesto - Somewhere In The Between
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Less Than Jake - Borders & Boundaries
Thursday - A City By The Light Divided

Now if I look back over the list I'll find all sorts of things wrong with it, but it's still probably the best I can do.

Quite unlike most of the posts in this thread, but I like what I like.

Thats OK, atleast we all know your not one of the minions. Although there are some posts on here that are even more obscure than yours, they are the real rebels who do not let society dictate what they like. LOL
